Austin, a second team pick as a wide receiver, made the CBS Sports.com first unit as an all-purpose performer after a regular season that saw him score touchdowns four different ways this season as a pass receiver, rusher, kickoff returner and punt returner.

For the year, Austin has caught 110 passes for 1,259 yards and 12 touchdowns at slot receiver while rushing for 598 yards and three scores as a running back. He has also produced 903 yards in punt and kickoff returns, giving him 2,760 all-purpose yards for the year. Austin is the first player in school history to amass 7,000 all-purpose yards for his career.
